PG05 L'Eau de Circe Parfumerie Generale for women

L'Eau de Circe was inspired by an intriguing woman. And such is the fragrance itself.

There is something in it I can't quite put my finger on. I have difficulty distinguishing the notes I can't smell what should be there and I can smell what is not there.

L"eau de Circe is like a touch of velvet sheets. Smooth and delicate. But it also has got a touch of leathery quality to it, as well as a touch of bitter sweetness. I guess that might be the combination of jasmine, tangerine and ylang-ylang. It somehow smells familiar, but not quite. Pierre Guillaume managed to take notes we know and turn them into a composition that seems completely different from what we would expect.

I don't know if I find it very confortable to wear, but it is surely an interesting olfactory experience.

Eau de Circe has depths, mistery, it unfolds like a rose. It is like eating a honeysuckle flower, if you ever did that, the more you squeeze it, the sweeter it goes. First come the heavenly garden smell, with peaches, jasmine, roses, orchids, then the dry-down advances toward honey. All is accompanied by the mischivious patchouli.

There is something truly horrid hiding underneath this pale peachy floral; something metallic & organic that brings to mind Secretions Magnifique (albeit only a fleeting ghost of that evil thing).

On the surface I smell some watery peach and some non-descript floral and just a touch of mild peppery wood but mostly I keep picking up that nasty smear. Luckily sillage is almost nil and I have to press my nose up against it to smell it. I am going to pass on any further L'(p)eau de Circe.

not bad but honestly did not touch me at all. it smells rich and elegant but to me that is basicly about it.

you can feel the peach-like aroma of tangerines but the mix of flowers they make it back off so you finally do not enjoy anything you d normally do with fruits.

terrific fragrance, for those who dont fear strong scents, obsessional and facsinating like the sorceress circé

Sweet but satiny to start. Reminds me of Parfum d'Empire Eau Suave, but more translucent. But at drydown gets fakey –sweet and reminds me of Hanae Mori Magical Moon, another one that gives me a headache. My least favorite of the Parfumerie Generales.

This is a delicious and tenacious scent that wears like silk. It opens with a whiff of fresh peach that has been dusted with brown sugar and then gently baked until the juices run clear, followed by a greenish-rosy bouquet of flowers, and then it dries to a vaguely piquant, caramel-like finish. Unusual and unusually pretty!
